The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work

[Rhondazvous]

This is again an oversimplification of the facts and a misunderstand of what the bible says.

So how is what he's saying wrong? You dismiss it out of hand as an oversimplification, but you do nothing to actually explain why that is, which is a problem because first of all, you've offered no justification for your assertion and second, you've provided Redbeard no opportunity to correct his views if, indeed, he's wrong in them. I feel like you could be doing better, both for yourself and for others, if you added a little more effort to your responses beyond simplistic "nuh uh!"s.

Since you deem the bible full of lies then I assume you don't ascribe to the golden rule in the bible instead you ascribe to a "golden rule" that predates the bible. So, I will assume that it is a golden rule that says don't do to others as you would have them do to you. Like the one Confucius said. If you ascribe to one that tells people to do onto others then please state it because I am unaware of it.

The golden rule predates the bible, as you seem to acknowledge, but weirdly, you don't actually seem to know what the formulation of it was before Jesus "said" it. Have you even read Confucius' version? "Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself." It's literally the same sentiment, just presented in a passive voice: why would you then lie and say that Confucius' version was "don't do to others as you would have them do to you."?

Apparently he/she/it has found that calling something an oversimplification is an effective way to deal with anything that he/she/it cannot answer cogently. Unfortunately, what theists view as an effective cover is about two inches thinner than wet tissue paper.
